A domestic disturbance call in Pikeville, Kentucky, on Monday, October 14, 2024, ended with the death of 75-year-old Paulette Louise Mullins. Kentucky State Police troopers responding to a residence on Old Wagner Station Road encountered Mullins’s son, who made threats to officers and prompted activation of the Kentucky State Police Special Response Team. Negotiators secured his surrender after a several-hour standoff.

Officers found Paulette Mullins inside the home with a fatal gunshot wound; the Pike County Coroner pronounced her dead at the scene and an autopsy was scheduled at the State Medical Examiner’s Office. Her son, identified as Alex Yuhas, 59, was arrested and lodged in the Pike County Detention Center. He was charged with Murder-Domestic Violence, terroristic threatening, and third-degree assault on an officer, the latter alleged after he spat on an officer following his arrest.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who heard or saw anything around Old Wagner Station Road on October 14 that could help clarify what happened?
